Today your RMT TFC reps met with LUL to discuss levels on trains; the current numbers were agreed as part of the 2009 Agreement.

The formula used to determine which “Band” a depot fell in was based on various factors, including the number of duties at a depot, the position of the depot on the line, the frequency of trains, number of remote booking locations and the proximity of the train crew to a rolling stock depot.

Jubilee South News is the Newsletters for tube workers on the Jubilee Line between Westminster and Stratford, including drivers at North Greenwich and Stratford, cleaners, caterers and signalers at Stratford Market Depot.

That we note the report from our Lead Officer regarding the request from our LU Fleet Branch for industrial action due to the planned imposition of vastly inferior; bordering on non-existent safety checks on trains before they enter passenger service, which is solely for the purpose of implementing the Conservative Government’s Department for Transport and the London Mayors cuts to London Underground.

That we note the resolution from our Piccadilly & District West Branch regarding the unacceptable situation around flaws in the company’s POM procedures which are leading to financial discrepancies and disciplinary action against our members.

We instruct the General Secretary to arrange a director level meeting with the company with the knowledge that if our meeting request is refused or the outcome is not acceptable; a combine wide stations dispute may be our only and necessary course of action.

That we note the resolution from our Neasden Branch regarding the unacceptable situation with company changes to the LU Rule Book; resulting in transition based train control stock (TBTC) being kept in service if/when the train operator display (TOD) fails, which will also result in Train Operators having to rely on unqualified and remotely based third parties service decisions whilst they are driving their trains.

That we note the report from the Lead Officer and correspondence on file, and congratulate Sister Sophie Kyei-Donkoh, Brother Mark Harding, the local reps and our Bakerloo Line Branch for their successful campaign outcome resulting in Sister Sophie Kyei-Donkoh’s complete vindication and rescinding by the company of her 52 week Final Warning.

That we note the resolution from the London Transport Regional Council regarding the company’s move to remove Train Operators ability to give their account of incidents involving them, and the obvious victimisation of our members that will undoubtedly result.

This is totally unacceptable and we instruct the General Secretary to have this matter taken up at the highest level with London Underground.

All operational branches and the London Transport Regional Council to be advised.
